"In Houston, rap is a culture…it was a custom to freestyle over other rappers' beats …You could go anywhere and say "bust a flow" and people would huddle up and just freestyle. It was recreational, boys girls--everybody would get into it. That planted the seeds.." He grew up listening to Outkast, UGK, Jay-Z, 3-6 Mafia, Nelly, 2pac. Watching Houston rappers like Chamillionaire and Slim Thug before they were famous, he saw them grow from start to now.

The Sweetest Thing
Carter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our love is dead and gone
The sunrise warms my heart
With memories of you
It's the sweetest thing--remembering
There's a picture in the hall
That I'm leaving on the wall
That always made me fall apart
It's the sweetest thing--remembering
When I close my eyes to cry
I can't help but feel a smile
'Cause I think of you and I forget
It hurt to say goodbye
But after all we've been through
It's amazing to me
The sweetest thing's remembering
Oh the sweetest thing--remembering
We wanted love to last forever
And the good lord knows we tried
But when the rain came pouring down
There was no place left to hide
But after all we've been through
It's amazing to me
The sweetest thing's remembering
Oh the sweetest thing--remembering
It's the sweetest thing--remembering

Line by Line Meaning
In the stillness of the dawn
During the peaceful mornings, our love has ended and vanished
Our love is dead and gone
Our relationship is over and has ended
The sunrise warms my heart
The morning sky brings back memories that once gave warmth to my heart
With memories of you
Thoughts of you linger in my memories
It's the sweetest thing--remembering
Remembering the sweet moments we had together is the most comforting
There's a picture in the hall
A photo of us is hung on the wall
That I'm leaving on the wall
I'm not taking the picture down, it remains on the wall
'Cause there's a look in your eyes
Your eyes always had this particular look
That always made me fall apart
That look had the power to break me into pieces
When I close my eyes to cry
Whenever I'm sad and tears flow, and I close my eyes
I can't help but feel a smile
Thinking about the happy moments with you makes me smile
'Cause I think of you and I forget
When I think of you, I forget my sadness
It hurt to say goodbye
Parting ways was painful
But after all we've been through
Despite our challenges and struggles
It's amazing to me
I find it surprising
The sweetest thing's remembering
Remembering good memories is the best thing
We wanted love to last forever
We desired a long-lasting love
And the good lord knows we tried
We did our best to make it work
But when the rain came pouring down
When troubles, hardships, and difficulties arose
There was no place left to hide
We couldn't escape from the problems that arose
It's the sweetest thing--remembering
Remembering the good times is the most comforting
Oh the sweetest thing--remembering
Thinking back on our memories is the best thing
